The Curragh Racecourse

Ireland's most important thoroughbred racecourse

World class horse racing, including all 5 Irish Classics. The Irish Derby, which takes place at the height of summer, is the richest race in the Irish calendar.

"The Curragh Racecourse is also home to the Curragh Training ground which has seen many stars of the track including Sea The Stars, Vintage Crop, Hardy Eustace and Sinndar. The Curragh Training Grounds provide trainers with the opportunity to prepare their horses on approximately 1,500 acres of world-class training facilities. The standard and range of gallops on offer is really quite remarkable and led to Dermot Weld describing the facilities as 'unquestionably one of the finest training grounds in the world'."Horse Racing Ireland
